Movies While You’re Sick
No comments · Posted in Entertainment, Life, Television
Recently I was sick and spent an entire day on the couch, sleeping and watching movies. That got me thinking: What are the best movies and shows to watch while you’re under the weather? I’ve broken them into three categories: (A) I want to sleep, (B) I want to be motivated, and (C) I want to laugh.
First, if you want to sleep; I’ve found that’s usually what I want to do while I’m sick, and there are plenty of good movies to do that. A great sleeping movie is anything with Meg Ryan, particulary, You’ve Got Mail. Don’t get me wrong, I love and own this movie. It’s got a relaxing story-line and nothing loud and crazy that will wake you up. Two others I’ve been known to fall asleep to are October Sky (also a good book) and Apollo 13. The latter can wake you up, so be sure to have it turned low.
Now, if you want to be motivated. Sometimes you simply can’t sleep while you’re sick and you just want to feel good about life. So, what’s a person to do? Let’s get motivated! At the top of this list are a bunch of sports movies like Miracle, Field of Dreams and Rudy. Rudy could also fit until the put to sleep category because it is a pretty easy-going film.
Finally, if you just want to laugh. I would really suggest something on television for this category. MythBusters or re-runs of Friends, Seinfeld, Will & Grace and Alf. Those are all good for a laugh and are on all the time during the day and in the early-morning hours.
I’d love to hear your favorite “I’m Sick Movies.”
